Having visited Bangkok a couple times before, I thought either cheap hotels in noisy party zones or fancy hotels was all Bangkok had to offer. I'm glad that I have been proven dead wrong. There is actually a perfectly authentic, charming place in the middle of the city that is the perfect place to stay in Bangkok - especially if you are a couple! Hidden in a spacious, beautiful garden, just a few minutes away from Rachawat market, a place that offers authentic, high quality Thai food that locals value, is a Thai house made out of wood we were lucky enough to find via AirBnB. It might not be the most spacious accommodation we ever lived in, but it definitely lacks nothing you can wish for. AC works fast and well, the whole house has just been newly renovated and there is a modern shower with hot water. A plus was the fresh fruits and water for welcome as well as a helpful guide on Thai street food. The host is very kind, well educated and thus fully fluent in English and great to have conversation with. In short my girlfriend and I warmly recommend this place to anyone with the desire for an authentic Thai experience in the middle of a very safe area.
